This Thunderbolt 2 RAID PCIe SSD drive by LaCie is faster than most SSDS from competing brands. That is because the LaCie Little Big Disk drive is equipped with two fast PCi-Express SSD’s, the brand Samsung in RAID 0 configured. Because the SSD’s 512GB is large indicates that, in this configuration, a total schijfomvang of 1TB. With the supplied software you can the SSDS also in RAID 1 adjustment that allows you to store security increases. In case of failure of 1 SSD you will get to keep than just your data. Do you deliver a huge on schijfomvang and speed. Because most brands opt for the relatively cheap SATA 3 bus remains the speed of such SSD’s sticking around the 500 MB/s. However, that SSD’s over a factor of two cheaper. Apparently, the technique of PCIe by all kinds of patents are still expensive. There will, I think, in the (near) future to change if the SATA buses at the flash storage is slowly become phased out.
With the program Disk Speed Test, I schijfsnelheden of around 1140 MB/s and read speeds of around 1280 MB/s measured. That is more than ten times faster than a conventional 3.5-inch hard disk drive. As a result, this external drive is ideal for Windows 10 Bootcamp partition to boot on your Mac. You start Windows in less than 10 seconds (!) and the system responds faster. That is quite a bit faster than most Windows 10 computers that still have old-fashioned slow 3.5-inch hard disk drive. There does it reboot just a factor of ten (!) longer and you up to two minutes! I have this external drive was purchased because my Mac Pro has a small hard drive of only 1TB. Because of this, there still remained for me to little room to get a good Windows – Bootcamppartitie. With this disk drive from LaCie, I suddenly 1TB bloedsnelle storage, partly because of this drive with Thunderbolt 2 on my Macintosh and can be connected. A major disadvantage of this external drive has been and continues to be the purchase price. Unfortunately, I could have the patience not to yield to a year or two to wait. By that time, the novelty is off and you can get the 1 TB PCIe SSD’s for well over half and maybe even a quarter of the original introductory price to purchase. Nevertheless, I have no regrets of my purchase and I experience a lot of fun. Partly because of the reboot from mac to Windows and visa versa now is very fast and there was me with this purchase.
Used in combination with:
- Apple Mac Pro (late 2013) 3.5 GHz 6-Core
